Next Level Connections Broadband
Grant Program timeline update

In response to the COVID-19 emergency, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs is extending the Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program timeline to allow applicants and service providers more time to focus on maintaining their current networks during this ongoing situation. Full applications are now due to OCRA by 3 p.m. ET, Tuesday, May 26, 2020. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted and only those who submitted a Letter of Intent are eligible to submit an application.

Challengers, applicants and communities will be notified of challenge results as planned, on March 25. We invite you to visit our website to familiarize yourself with the challenges and results.

As a reminder, a Q&A document is available and continually updated as questions are received to nlc@ocra.in.gov.

OCRA continues to monitor this situation daily and will notify applicants of any further changes.  

 

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch, who also serves as the Secretary of Rural Development, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs’ (OCRA) mission is to work with local, state and national partners to provide resources and technical assistance to assist communities in shaping and achieving their vision for community and economic development.
